This is so far from the truth that I can't even think of a hyperbolic statement sufficient to describe just how far it is from the truth.  You must truly be living in a cave with no forms of social media if you think inaccurate and/or deliberately false memes die out quickly when disproven.  If nothing else, I know that you most definitely are not on my dad's email list.

I'm no fan of memes and would never defend, or use them as any form of authoritative source material. That should go without saying. 
 But it's got to be hard to rationalize attacking someone on their use of memes while at the same time continuing with constant ad hominem attacks on Trump, calling him and his supporters nazis and racists, or promoting their theories that he can't read or is senile. And let's not even get into the wild, never-ending, unproven speculation on being a Russian agent that many here accept as fact. Much of what I read here on the JBF regarding Trump are essentially just memes without the pictures.

You proved my point perfectly without even having the aptitude to comprehend it. Sad and funny at the same time.

I think all they really want is a place to vent with
like minded people, Trump Hate Circle Jerk.

By the way, I think Ding Dong Sanders would be a good
nick name for Trump to use on him.

Back during the heat of the elections, there was one
guy on my face book friends that hated Trump, he was
certain that everything the mainstream media said
about him was true, a Russian spy for sure.

Then there was another guy who loved Trump even more
than I did. And when I would start a thread, the hater
could only call people names, he had nothing else to
go on. He nicknamed the Trump lover White Supremacist
Brent. Brent would say nothing but truth at the guy
and all he could do is "lol, nice thinking White
Supremacist Brent." He has no eye to see how full of
shit his favorite politicians were. He became a poster
of the MSM and their message. Pretty sad.

--------------------------------------
Ad hominem suggests ignoring the actual topic of debate in favour of discussing the personal conduct, character and motives of the person who has made a contention. However, when the thread is called Acting Presidential, then the personal conduct and character of Trump is the topic at hand.

In the 105 pages of this thread, when last did Trump's ability to read come up?

You seem to be looking at the thread in a much narrower way than just about everyone else that has commented in it has. Ad Hominem in the case of this thread means attacking not only Trump, but his supporters. Not with facts, but with name calling. It's gone on far too long and adds nothing productive to the discussion.

You're free to go back yourself and look for those who were positive Trump had early signs of dementia. Those who were convinced he couldn't read. How he was high on drugs because he slurred or mispronounced a word during an hour long speech. At those points I realized how ridiculous things had become. 

I certainly didn't care for Obama. But I argued against and attacked his policies, not the man himself. And I was embarrassed for those that did. But the insanity and lack of reasoning that's continued against Trump is of a whole new level of ridiculousness. Unfortunately those that continue to do it don't seem to possess the capacity to realize how foolish it makes them look.

By all accounts, Barrack Hussein Obama is an exemplary man, husband and father.

For as many enemies as he had (has) if there was something substantial to bring him down it would have been found and weaponized to all possible effect.  But in his 8 years in office he ran about as clean an operation as you could have.   

No Drama Obama is real because the man is a good person who ran a pretty clean operation.  You may not like his politics....but the human being that he is solid, respectable and should be admired.

I attack Donald J. Trump because Donald J. Trump is a malignant liar, con artist, narcissistic, misanthropic asshole by MANY accounts.  His record of disgusting behaviors is long and deep.  His shady/criminal business dealings are on record.  His history of cheating on wives is near legendary.  He lied to get out of Vietnam.  He lied about having affairs.  He cheated workers out of pay.  He ran schemes to bilk people out of money (Trump University and others).  He is entirely too creepy with his own daughter.  He is an emmense racist, bigoted piece of shit.

If Donald Trump wasn’t born rich he’d spent his life as a mugger, preying on old ladies in the park.  Or at worst a serial rapist (judging by how he seems to think he can walk in on teenaged girls while they are dressing for a beauty pageant because he owns the event).  

“Grab em’ by the pussy...”   Really?

The man is total fucking filth.

Thomas Woods has just become the first person I have ever put on ignore on the JBF. 

Either the guy is a wind up merchant, and thus should be ignored, or he is ignorant to the point of dangerously stupid, which is the sort of person I tend to divorce myself from in face to face interactions, so no way will I interact with him on the net.

You quote a random, wrong meme in a manner that shows you were believing it was fact. You then post that meme after saying 'sorry guv, it was something I saw' (did you even see Ghostbusters? 'Yes, it's true, this man has no dick' 'Well that's what I heard!') and the meme, in two pictures contains two lies.

You have no fact checking abilities at all, you don't watch CNN and yet make many, many claims about its editorial content. All based on second, third or the lord knows what level hand knowledge. You think number of viewers equates to accuracy and truth. It doesn't. Go and watch 12 Angry Men for a good visual example of this.

I've read enough of your posts now thanks. You have illustrated to me that everything negative I think a Trump support is, is true.

David, You have never been around a group of friends
talking about the sex you are attracted to and saying
similar things? Do you feel Obama never did this?

You have never had a perverted thought about someone
you are attracted to, grabbing them the least of those
thoughts? Or watched porn? Do you feel Obama never did
this?

Stalking old women in park/ cereal rapist ?? Just
stuff you hope he would be.

Have you or any of your friends ever backed into a
parked car and left the scene? Or anything similar
that would be considered ‘screwing someone over’?

Have you ever lied about someone else?

You don’t have any faults with Obama because most
likely he was doing everything you wanted him to do:
put America last, praise other counties over America,
put Americas workers last and stating those jobs are
never coming back and you would need a magic wand to
do so.

Embracing globalism or heading that way. Against
Brexit.

So I guess we can’t argue if you are for those things
but a lot of use did not like any of that.
